HC Deb 28 January 1974 vol 868 c3W
30. Mr. David Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will conduct an investigation into the abuse of party plan selling techniques particularly by companies previously connected with pyramid selling.

Mr. Onslow

The investigation of such abuses falls within the Director General of Fair Trading's field of responsibility, and the matter has been drawn to his attention. If the hon. Member has any relevant information I hope he will make it available to the Director General.
